A post from RealViking from this thread made me feel like posting something about the social groups I believe exist from the time I've been in the game. Tell me what you think.
1. The group of players that spend their time on pubs playing what we consider as "noob maps" (@camper maps and such). These are considered by others as the "noobs".
2. The group of players that only play pubs and are sometimes seen in inters or forums, known somewhat by the community. There are considered as the "are-you-using-an-alias/casual gamer" player.
3. Then comes the group of players that idle in either IRC or TS and don't actually play the game; however, they seem to know the gossip pretty well around and are usually pretty active on the AC forums but don't post too much. These are considered as the "idlers".
4. The players that are seen most of the times trying to organize games through IRC, or playing inters/clan matches; however, they dislike pubs and are rarely seen there. They take part of the on-going leagues as much as possible and some can be seen to be active on the forums just as in-game. These are considered the "competitive gamers".
5. Now we have the small group of players that frequently idle in IRC but barely talk, they tend to go on the AC forums but aren't really aware of the gossip and things going around the game seeing as they don't play the game and when they do they tend to use an alias. These are considered as the "elite".
Where do you consider yourself to be in?
